I have a 1997 mercury mountaineer with a 5.0 The truck has 125000 miles and is making what sounds to me as being a lifter noise. This noise quiets down after being driven around a while.
My mechanic says it's the timing chain.
How do I know which one it is. The truck runs fine, no problems starting and has lots of pick up when needed.
What are the signs of a bad timing chain.......
Thanks
